Getting Caught Off-Grid
Micheal Kline “Reality Check” Audio player below!
In the following player we are discussing the reality of the electric grid going down and a personal story about me being somewhat caught off-guard. I have been on vacation with my family this past week in the North Georgia area with Tropical Storm Alberto coming through. So, like a good little prepper, I packed a small propane stove, my EDC, my camping cook set, and a family size battery powered lantern. However, I was unprepared for the power going out unexpectedly and being off grid sucks. The power going out is different from camping and even preppers are not fully prepared to deal with it mentally. Read more “Getting Caught Off-Grid”
Once SHTF, things will go south in a hurry. Whatever the disaster is, we should expect grocery stores to be robbed, mobs to form, homes to be raided, any many available supplies taken.
In this show, we are going to be talking about places to avoid when SHTF. We all see the pictures and videos of store shelves stripped bare before a major storm. We see the long lines at hardware stores with people buying plywood and generators. What about these places after a major event? We see the video and hear the reports of looters cleaning out the shoe, clothing, and electronics stores. 
Dave follows up last week’s Smallpox show with the greatly anticipated return of Eve Gonzales. The last time Eve was on we learned that she has been to every major disaster for the past 14 years and has firsthand knowledge of what works and what don’t work when the gird is down. Last time Eve talked about her book Lessons Learned and this time Eve dives deep into what is needed before disaster strikes. Her vast knowledge of homeopathic curses and what everyone needs in a disaster situation will be top on the list for this show. I am sure Eve will have some very special deals for everyone that tunes in. Don’t miss this fasted pace talk on what to do and when to do it when the SHTF! 
On this episode in Dave shares information he has learned about Smallpox and other Biological Agents that could be usd in a terror attack. H ex[lains the ways you can protect your selves and your family members if a Bio attack occurs. He will also cover things to look for in the news as trigger points to implement your emergency plans. After talking about the deadliest disease known to mankind, Smallpox, Dave turns to other natural and man made Bio-agents that could cripple sociality as we know it. Don’t miss out, log into the chat room at Prepper Broadcasting Network and ask the questions you have never had answered before. 
In this show, we talk about what it might be like if the big event happens and you can no longer talk to family or get news of their condition. After a SHTF event, the availability of news from across the nation and world might be severely limited. Are you or your spouse mentally prepared to break contact with your family and never be able to hear from them again? If your family is overseas or in another state you may keep in contact by Skype, email, or video chat and it’s no big deal. Even calling your parents on the phone keeps that bridge open. However, in grid down, you 
Dave continues to get the guest that really make a difference in the Prepper world and this week Eve Gonzales from Trading Post in the Woods comes on to talk about 
The US witnessed one of the worst hurricane seasons in hundreds of years, and that was on top of the countrywide flooding and storms that inflicted parts of the country into panic. These kinds of weather situations aren’t uncommon and are happening around the world at an increasing rate.
Have you ever seen or been involved in a major traumatic event and wondered how you survived? Do you believe that you did something wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not? If you were in the crowd of the Las Vegas shooting or a passenger in one of the Amtrak derailments, you may ask yourself why you survived. Are you a soldier, medical professional, law enforcement officer, EMT, or firefighter thinking you could have done more to save the life of someone? Do you find yourself thinking about what you could have done differently to save a life or reduce a person’s suffering? 
The weather outside is frightful but your home and hearth are warm and cozy, that is until the unthinkable happens and you are now the victim of a house fire! The Christmas Season is not a time when our mind necessarily wanders to fire, other than the one in our fireplace adding to the merriment in our homes, but, house fires occur all too frequent during this time of the year. 
This could be everything; it may be nothing. I recently received a letter from a credible person I know fairly well and the information within should be extremely concerning to anyone who lives in the U.S. or even abroad. With the threat of North Korea, the following information I will be sharing relates to what has currently been on the minds of most people and top priority for many in what to prepare for. I was asked originally by this person, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons forthcoming, to share this information but not to divulge his personal information or what he does. I replied to his letter stating that without sharing some known knowledge I have as to my source that it may be taken as pure fabrication, opinion, or some kind of conspiracy theory. With that I was granted permission to provide you with, (I will refer to this person as Joe) Joe’s current employer. Department of Homeland Security. 
Off grid living implies that it’s all about no power, but that is the smallest factor to those of us that live this lifestyle. It’s a choice to live simpler, live among nature, consume less, appreciate time, and have quality time. No more tread mill, making due and living within financial means, feeling as free as possible in this hectic world. Now if you have tons of money then off grid may simply mean you substituted solar for electric power and still have the modern world at your fingertips. The reality to off grid living is perseverance, ingenuity, tenacity, and self-motivation as well self-reliance.
